Step after step on the broken road
The timber biting at His back
The soldiers push the crowd looks on
Nobody moves to share the weight
His knees give way on every stone
But still He rises still He stands
The road to Calvary stretches on
With salvation in His battered hands
Every step a covenant
Every stumble speaks His love
Carrying what we could not lift
Beneath the dark and burning sun
Carry this cross up the hill of sorrow
Carry this cross through the longest mile
The weight of the world upon His shoulders
And still He walked with mercy in His stride
Carry this cross so tomorrow
We would never have to walk alone
A woman breaks through the crowd to weep
She wipes His face with trembling cloth
The imprint left upon the linen
A portrait only love could draw
Simon steps beneath the beam
A stranger drafted for the cause
But even with the shared burden
The mission rested on His shoulders still because
Carry this cross up the hill of sorrow
Carry this cross through the longest mile
The weight of the world upon His shoulders
And still He walked with mercy in His stride
Carry this cross so tomorrow
We would never have to walk alone
The hilltop waits like judgment's throne
The wood is laid upon the earth
The nails are ready in the forge
And heaven holds its final breath
But He does not resist the hands
That pin Him to the wooden frame
Because beyond the suffering
Lies every soul that calls His name
Who could carry such a thing
Who would choose to bear it all
Only One who loved so deep
He would answer every call
Carry this cross up the hill of glory
Carry this cross through the final mile
The weight of the world lifted from our shoulders
Because He walked with mercy in His stride
